Application filed September 6, 1923. Serial No. 661,172.

My invention relates generally to improvements in coat hangers, butrelates more particularly to hangers of the type that are secured to thecoat in the nature of a band.

It has been the common practice heretofore to secure a band of materialto the collar of the coat usually by stitching it at the ends. Suchhangers usually last but a little while as it is very diflicult to sewthem in place so that they will withstand the weight of the coat,particularly in heavy overcoats and the like. Nevertheless this type ofcoat band hanger still prevails It is an object of my invention toprovide an improved type of coat band hanger which shall overcome theobjections hereinbefore.

referred to.

Another object of my invention is to provide a coat band hanger whichshall be sim-' ple in construction; inexpensive to manufacture and whichcan be quickly and easily secured to the garment.

Another object of my invention is to provide a coat band hanger whichcan be so rigidly secured to the garment that it will easily be able towithstand the weight of even the heavy overcoat and which at the sametime shall embody no objectionable protruding portions.

.My invention consists generally in a coat band hanger of the form,arrangement, construction and in the means of attachment to the garment,whereby the above named objects together with others that will appearhereinafter are attainable, and my invention will be more readilyunderstood by reference to the accompanying drawings which illustratewhat I consider, at the present time,

' to be the preferredembodiment thereof.

In said drawings: Fig. 1 is a face view of a portion of the collar partof the garment with a coat hanger embodying my invention securedthereto.

Fig. 2 is a view of the opposite side of the collar, the collar beingturned up better to disclose the fastening means.

Fig. 3 is an enlarged sectional View substantially on the line 33 ofFig. 1.

Fig.4 is a perspective view of the coat hanger band detached from thegarment, but with the fastening devices afliXed thereto.

' Fig. 5 is a face view of one of the fastentightly woven cloth. Forfastening it to the arment I provide a fastener 2 which 18 composed of abody portion 3 from the opposite sides of which project a plurality ofsharp tongue-like members 4 and 5. The tongue-like members 4 and 5 arebent at right an les to the body portion 3 as, indicated at Fig. 6 andthen one member 2 is aflixed at each end of the band 1 as indicated inFig. 4, the body portion 3 being disposed on one side of the band andthe tongue members 4 and 5 projecting therethrough to the opposite side.

I preferably afiix the band 1 to the garment 3 in the following manner.The tongue members 4 and '5 of the fastening device at the end 6 of theband 1 are forced through the goods 7 of the garment and the endportions thereof bent downwardly into contact with the opposite face ofthe goods. As shown, the tongue members 4 and 5 are bent toward eachother, but if desired they may be bent in opposite directions, or partthereof may be bent toward each other and part away from each other.After one end of the band is thus affixed the band is folded back uponitself so that the body portion 3 of the metal fastening device ishidden by the band. The opposite end 8 of the band collar.

The device as thus affixed is very secure, so much so that it wouldpractically be necessary to tear the very body of the garment in orderto displace the band and by making the band 1 of sufficiently strongmaterial, a coat hanger is provided which will practically last the lifeof the garment.

The many advantages of my device will be apparent to those skilled inthe art to hidden by the outer flap portion of the I which this relatesWithout further comment.

I claim:

A coat hanger comprising in combination with a garment, a band, a plateon each end 5 of the band said band ends being folded back upon theintermediate portion of said band, each plate having tongues passingthrough said band en ds and through said
